I think that neck cracking is a serious problem. I have a friend who cracks her neck regularly and not only does it disgust me it is actually really bad for you. It is a joke when people say it releases endorphins because all it does it slowly eat away at the core muscle in your neck till one day it collapses and can give you neck damage for the rest of your life. Neck cracking can also lead to bad headaches or migraines because you core muscle and the spinal cord actually reach all the way to the back of your head, by tilting your neck in this awkward angle it sends messages to your reflective symptom part of your brain which causes you temples or forehead to throb. Don't do it, its not worth it.

Cracking your neck is just like cracking your knuckles... You're opening the joint between the facet joints between the cervicle veterbra; the resulting vacuum "sucks" a small bubble of nitrogen into the joint. This results in the "popping" sound. Numerous studies have proved that no damage is being done to the articular bones... The biggest indicator of damage to a joint is "pain" and stiffness...
